That service will be online for a while after wfc for gaming shuts down.

If I buy a Wii in 3 months for some reason, I of course won't have access to official Nintendo WFC servers but will I have access to those ones even if I didn't register when the official ones where online ?

Yes, I think so. The point of registering now is keeping your current Friend Code and data from Nintendo's servers.

Actually that's wrong. Nintendo licenses are coming to the U now and the sales are picking up again. The reason why it started so slow is due to really poor marketing. People were apparently not even aware that there was a new console. When it was first announced, most thought it was just a new Wii accessory, and the name has to be blamed for that.
true, but where is the brand new Metroid,  Zelda, Pokemon Stadium, etc? So far, we got a remake of an existing Zelda game and we will get Hyrule Warriors, which isn't even close to Zelda gameplay. When the NES and SNES came out in USA, we got brand new Zelda games just one year later.

Some guy "leaked" some upcoming releases. I am not sure how credible it is though.

I am kinda interested in the Xeno game. Hopefully it's not a super limited run like Xenoblade, which was a Gamestop exclusive.

There have been even more "leaks" over the past few days. These are definitely fake because they are fanservice to the max. The information they give aren't always consistent too.

I checked if I could play mario kart wii online, but I got an error code. Lets hope they get the servers up and running soon!

Hopefully Nintendo doesn't order them to shut down the private servers.

Why would they ? There are already unofficial servers for all the 6th gen consoles and I don't know of anyone complaining so far.

I still cannot get a connection. What is up with those servers? Are they having trouble setting it up themselves or did I make a typo in my friendcode?
